Seems like a lot of the girl's peers are Muslim. The people she interacts with and values and respects (which includes her peers to increasing degree as she gets older) will have a significant influence on the way she dresses I imagine: > In the following days, Aliya wore her headscarf[] to a Muslim gathering where she was showered with compliments I'd predict a social interaction like that - wearing headscarf means acceptance and praise from peers - to hold more sway than feedback from mom, past a certain age. Parents do not have complete insight into the difficulty their children have fitting in, nor how much thought or care they spend toward that purpose. What child wouldn't don an article of clothing that makes them instantly more accepted?
